Every year we discuss new horror movies in October, but sometimes, you just wanna watch the fucking classics. First up. Frankenstein from 1931 on motherfucking blu ray! None of that VHS bullshit Dracula is into.  |

The Monster played by ?
Before Prince turned himself into a symbol, some fucking actor was an exclamation point.

We can talk shit about Kenny B's Frankenstein from 94 but at least it had exposition. If these characters weren't so ingrained in pop culture you'd have no idea who these people were and why they were doing all these shenanigans. This version is more interested in setting up the science and kinda sending a mixed signal to rather ignorant 1930's audiences. Make that into a video essay, PG Cooper . |

Great, great movie. Really amazing for its time and is also probably still my favourite of the Universal Monster series, though Bride comes pretty close.

If I do make a video essay about Frankenstein it'll be about A) how efficiently James Whale adapts the material into such a lean runtime, and B) how while the details of the adaptation differ, the film does a much better job of capturing the themes of Shelley's novel than many literary snobs would lead you to believe. |

This motherfucker rocking those Beats by Dre Wouldn't put it past Dr. Dre to try to get retroactive product placement. Dude really wants any semi-famous person to be seen wearing those things. |

It's alive, Morty! There's no God cause I AM GOD! That line got cut out of the Hayes Code version, as did a number of other scenes. |

That actually was in the censored version, but the whole drowning scene wasn't, which ended up having the net effect of making audiences think the monster killed the girl more maliciously than it actually did given that it cut straight from him interacting with the kid to her being carried through the street dead. |

THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (1928) When she says, “I guess we some kind of Suicide Squad.” This movie has a great set-up. It’s the 17th century and a king’s rival is captured and ultimately killed. Before he dies his son is mutilated with a permanent smile so he can “smile at the fool that is his father.” The son grows up and the story falls apart. Because of the disfigured face he becomes a carnival attraction and is soon discovered that he’s a heir to the kingdom. He’s pressured by the royal family to preserve the bloodline but he turns them down to continue living as a carnie. Okay? You’re gonna take this great premise and do nothing with it? Laaammmeee. |
